    i5 4690k massive temps at stock. Please help.

    Ok. Thanks for the reply. From what I read 80c is the 'normal upper safe limit' for these chips hence my concern. Or are you saying 100c is nothing to worry about with stock cooling at stock voltages? Thanks.

    Will a Corsair TX650 PSU work with a GigaByte GA-Z97-D3H?

    Thanks very much. Even if it's only got a 4 pin, not an 8 pin mobo connector? I'm hoping to overclock (a 4690k). I will only have 1 gfx card. Thanks

    Mine is the original version of the power supply (about 6 or 7 years old) not the later V2 if it makes a difference. Thanks in Advance.

    Spec Check Please

    Thanks for the Reply. I hadn't considered the 770. Great. Are the stock coolers cack again? My current wolfie had a pretty good stock cooler, but that's many years ago.

    Should I wait to buy a new gfx card?

    Hi. I'm in the market for a new PC to replace my aging rig (7 years). I'm out of touch. I see computex 2015 is soon. Should I wait until after it (assuming announcements from nvidia and ati will bring priced of cards down)? Or which graphics card do you recommend for £200. Thanks.

    Favourite Sport?

    Why is the Favourite Sport field compulsory in the User Control Panel? Doesn't really seem relevant to this message board? This isn't exactly an athletics forum.

    HOW DID YOUR 1ST BUILD GO

    That reminded me of my first build back in the 90s with my twin brother. A 486 or pentium 1. The motherboard had a scratch on it so was earthing out through the metal motherboard mounts. Swapped them to plastic clip ones and done. Lesson Learned. Had some stinkers since then - mostly...
